Privacy Policy

We collect account information (like name and email), event participation data (teams, submissions, judging), and content you provide (descriptions, links, uploads, messages).

We use your information to operate Ascend: authentication, event management, team coordination, submissions, judging, awards, and announcements (including emails you trigger).

Event organizers may send announcements to event participants through Ascend. Organizers are responsible for the content they send and ensuring they have the right to contact recipients.

We don’t sell personal data. We may share data with providers required to run Ascend (e.g., hosting, email delivery, file storage). We may disclose data to comply with legal obligations or protect safety and integrity.

We use reasonable safeguards, but no system is 100% secure. Avoid placing sensitive secrets in free-text fields.

You can update profile fields and manage participation where features allow. For privacy requests (access/deletion), contact support.
